I have a DP-008 and am very impressed. I tracked eight tracks from a variety of sources and didn't need to crack the manual until I exported to my computer.
Jack White plays an original. I had the similar Eastwood Supro guitar for a while. All I can tell you is these things are MASSIVELY overpriced. They have the look but not the sound or feel.
I have the Blonde and while I haven't recorded with it yet I'm using it through a keyboard amp and it sounds very believable. So far I've had more success with clean to semi-dirty tones with it...enough so that my tweed deluxe clone has been getting lonely.
I've had a set of 5s for a couple of weeks now and I really like them. Music123 is doing the 15% off/free shipping deal right now which brought the price down to around $250.
I've got the AV 40s and I just ordered a set of KRK 5s. The M-Audios are convenient, with the mini jack input on the front for mp3 players or whatever. I'm just not hearing a lot of clarity. Nice for the price, though.
The designs that have the amp in one speaker and a passive satellite tend to be cheaper and have less cables but they aren't as good for critical mixing because there is a greater chance the speakers won't have identical output and tone.
